Liver Needle Biopsy During Another Operation

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 47001

Takes a small core of liver tissue with a needle while the patient is already undergoing another major operation, so the sample can be examined under a microscope. Because the surgeon is already working in the abdomen, the sample is taken directly rather than through the skin. It is billed in addition to the main procedure.
